Not even close..Its Rangi chase

To be honest, chase might not even get in the side with how well widdop has done at the storm this year. He is an amazing player is chase, but obviously hes not going to get in kiwi squad with marshall at the helm. To be honest if he gets in the england side and plays, you think the aussies are gonna allow him to play the type of rugby he's been playing all season. It will be boys against men again with the few usuals that do this country proud eg Roby Graham Westwood Sinfield.

The thing is chase is virtually guaranteed to play scrum half for England i think as his form is better than DB and he has better skills than Lomax which is a shame. I dont think he should be in the squad.

Anti Cas literature, you really need to get that chip off your shoulder.

I’m of an age where I actually remember beating the Aussies, with a team full of home grown players, to beat them with help from loopholes, would be a hollow victory to me.

My greatest concern is, by selecting foreigners, however gifted, is denying English lads getting their chance to pull on an England shirt.

Yes it is the issue being discussed on this thread, its plain and simple.
I don't think anyone will disagree with poor overseas holding back young English players but thats not the topic issue, is it.

If that's the case, then I take back my first point.

FWIW - the 3 year residence rule is a joke. It pretty much opens the door for any Kiwi or Ausie over here to play for the English national team, as a significant number remain over here for that period of time. It's more of a work placement than anything else.

I lived in the USA for 8 years, maybe I can play for them lol

Sinfield! Are you having a laugh.

All Sinfield has ever done for England is well NOTHING.

I'm not botherd about chase he is not our player...

Fantastic quote my thoughts too, well said.

"rangi chase ... found guilty of assault to a female..BIG guy!"

You need to look a bit closer to home for that. You've just got rid of him today haven't you ?

I don't see Leuluai, Carmont or any other auzzie/kiwi being selected, what a farce. Hope McNamara's reign come crashing down in flames!

Never seen sinfield do a bad thing wrong, to say he gets played at hooker and stand off at test level He plays better out of postion than most do in the proper postions which is a testoment to the guy.

Hypocrisy, look it up.
Johnson convicted, sacked.
Chase convicted, extended contract.
